He may not have the enzymes to utilize the Glucosamine like he did before the gastric tube. Glucosamine Hcl is cheaper and it is harder for the body to utilize than the higher quality Glucosamine sulfate.
With that being said, Glucosamine sulfate is commonly use in people who have GI problems because it helps to protect the mucus membranes and heal injuried tissue. It is a very important supplement in IBS, Chrones disease, ulcers etc.,
I feel really bad for you and your dad.
You can safely give your dog 600mg od glucosamine a day. I found this info from a reliable website.
21century, product: k9 maximum joint health).
At my work (agriculture supplies) we have a formula for horses.
50ml dose
Glucosamine is HCI (10,000mg)
Chondroitin is shark cartilage (1,000mg)
MSM (2,000mg)
Boswellia (4,000mg)
Yucca (500mg)
a one liter bottle is $40 and would last almost a year at 750mg glucosamine doses.
My question is can I use this for my dog, are the supplement ratios okay?
Hi, last night I took 2 Tylenol extra strength at 10:30 pm for a headache. I was having pretty bad allergies as well. so I took 2 offbrand Benadryl severe allergy & sinus headache (Meijer off-brand) at about 2:38 am. I believe the Tylenol extra strength contained about 500 mg of acetaminophen in each capsule. The offbrand Benadryl contains 325 mg of acetaminophen, 25 mg of diphenhydramine HCl, & 5 mg of Phenylephrine HCl in each capsule. Was this okay to do?
was doing some reading and it seems the dol hcl is like the hydrocodone and the regular dol is like ultram--- however the ultram er is totally different than the regular ultram??? anyone know the diff on these nightmares??
m taking Ameriden Olive Leaf Extract - 6 caps a day, I was instructed to take only this brand. Plus Glucosamine 1500mg 3 X a day and hyaluronic acid (cushions joint) 100mg 3X a day. It'a lot of pills but would rather do that than take drugs with bad side-effects (had really bad reaction to Celebrex). You can go to the website Arthritis Help For Me ******* for more info.
I am trying to follow an alkaline pH diet as much as poss - but it's not easy, do drink alkaline water tho'.
My doctor told me not to mix and match. NOW AARP Rx is sending me a generic Olopatadine HCL by Rising Labs and I am paying the same price as the Brand Patanol which works great for me. I live in NE NJ..
Try avocado soybean unsaponifiables formulated specifically for cats. (They also make them for humans.) I don't have any particular recommendation for a brand, but one is called Dasuquin. Ask your vet about this approach.
I do, but it's, alas, very expensive. I take Inflazyme Forte by American Biologics. If you look on the internet you can find the lowest price, and they make a huge bottle that costs about 90 dollars. I take them because of chronic disc problems and a bad knee.
I have a older dog and use glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. There are many brands on the market that are "soft chews" for dogs and they all have diffrent quantities of active ingredients in them. The brand I favor has 4 different levels so you can put your pup on a higher dose to get them started and then lower it to a matainence dose once your pup is doing better. It will take some time but you should see some progress in 30-60 days.
The cheapest thing to try is generic glucosamine. It is a nutritional supplement that you can get at health food stores or even discount stores. I would get a name brand, because I got ripped off by buying one of the big box stores' house brand glucosamine one time, but you do not need to buy the most expensive brand. Sometimes it is sold in combination with chondroitin, but chondroitin makes my dogs itch.
i know what u going thru this day 3 three for me but i didnt have to use subxone bec my unsurace did coverate my doc gave me a blood preassure medication that will control ur blood preassure and clean ur system out at the same time the name brand is catapres the generic name is: clonidine HCL 0.
t think the ones without aspirin will harm you but remember the Caspian creme can burn and case tenderness. The glucosamine is fine too some take it in tablet form. TMA ill help you a lot more than I can with these things. Have you tried the lidoderm patches they work for me.
In the meantime, you can try taking hcl capsules. Get them at the health food store. Pure hcl, no other digestive enzymes added. (Buy Omega Zyme by Garden of Life if you want to take a digestive enzyme with no hcl in it with your meals too) Take 1 cap of hcl with each meal. If you feel no stomach burning, take 2 with the next meal, if you feel no stomach burning, take 3 with the next meal and so on until your stomach burns a little. Once it does, go back one pill.
I just recently started taking glucosamine and Chondroitin to help my knee recover from a dislocated patella. but for some reason my contact lenses have become very dry is that a side effect of the glucosamine??. I have used this type of soft contacts for a long time but never experienced this problem. Thanks.
My dog weighed 28-30lbs and the correct dose for her was 500mg Glucosamine per day. The vet said the 'human' Glucosamine was fine to use, so long as the dosage was correct for the dog's weight.
So it depends what your dog's weight is, how much you can increase the dose.
As far as I can make out, dogs (and humans too) respond differently to Glucosamine. With some there are great results, and with some, not much improvement.
You could mention this to your vet perhaps.
My dog is 12 year old and has arthrits and the vet told me to use glucosamine. In the summer time he does not need it. Now my dog is whimpering and shakeing, when I pet him he stops. This started a couple of days ago. The weather got really cold fast and I just started him back on glucosamine. Does this sound like the arthrits acting up or do I need to worry? How much glucosamine can I give him? I hate when my dog is in pain, I have had him since I was in kindergarden.
I have always fed them a really good food with the added glucosamine. I just recently changed foods to one without glucosamine. My lab started limping really bad. I went to human vitamin store and got her some glucosamine supplements. I got the liquid flavored glucosamine and the glucosamine soft flavored chew. I know some cannot swallow pills. My dog eats the chews if I slightly warm them. She will not touch the liquid. I would rather put a pill in some meat or something.
ive been giving my dog which is 17kg 1000mg of glucosamine every day for a week which i will now reduce to 500mg a day is there any thing else i should give him with this or is glucosamine alone ok my dog has early signs of arthritis in his back legs its a bit of an effort for him to get up now he is 10 yrs 3mths old and had cruciate ligament surgery back in may last yr and in the other leg about 5 to 6 yrs ago
